BACKGROUND Field of the Invention

The invention is a remote communication portal system and method of use.

Background of the Invention

The US spends $3.2 trillion of its annual gross domestic product (GDP)on health. Unnecessary care services add up to an estimated $750 billionin wasteful health care spending each year, according to the NationalAcademy of Sciences.

At the same time, the medical profession faces rising operational coststhat are a threat to profitability, while rural communities cannotattract physicians willing to live in remote, sparsely populated areas.At present, there are only 68 primary care doctors per 100,000 people inrural areas, compared to 84 such doctors in urban areas. Even in urbanand suburban areas, there are often an insufficient number of primarycare physicians to treat the population, especially the uninsured,meaning that many patients with low-level issues must resort to urgentcare or emergency room visits rather than wait days for an appointment,or forego medical treatment altogether.

The lack of doctors in much of the U.S. adversely affects both theavailability and responsiveness of medical care and treatment, leadingto undiagnosed and untreated afflictions that adversely affect thehealth and quality of life of the population, with untreated low-levelissues often leading to more serious costly problems down the road.

There are 10,000 urgent care locations in the U.S. and 160 millionpeople visit urgent care offices annually, with many more makingunnecessary emergency room visits. When patients use urgent care or ERsfor low-cost, low-risk and high-volume services, such as ear and sinusinfections, sore throats, flu and rashes, these visits result in highercosts for both patient and insurer, and waste valuable time foremergency medical teams that should be focusing on patients with moreserious issues.

Remote portals for examination and diagnosis become even more attractivein the context of epidemics. Such portals are perfectly suited forexaminations of potentially contagious patients, without forcing suchpatients into close contact with other patients or providers, thusmitigating against the further spread of communicable disease.

There exists a need for a system connecting patients to availablemedical care professionals outside the patients' immediate geographicarea, allowing for timely examination, diagnosis and treatment ofconditions when a live, in-person examination cannot occur for reasonsof unavailability.

The invention as disclosed herein addresses this problem by providing aportal system wherein patients may make appointments on a near-term orsame-day basis and access a wide network of available medical careprofessionals throughout the country, utilizing telecommunications andmedical sensory technology.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention is a telecommunications portal system (each referred toherein as a My Virtual Exam or MVE Office Portal) embodied as a roomwherein a patient can be examined by a doctor. The room contains aplexiglass panel taken from many potential sizes, with a preferredembodiment of approximately 85 inches×49 inches, allowing for viewing afull-sized adult human body in its entirety. The effect is as if themedical professional and patient are sharing the same identical space.

Each panel will be accompanied by one or more cameras, lights andmicrophones sufficient to allow an examining physician to adequately seeand hear the patient during examination, as well as to determine thatsensors or similar devices are attached and positioned correctly forproper readings.

The doctor or other medical professional attending the patient will havea similar panel, which is synched with the patient's panel and allsensors or dongles operating in the patient's portal. Such medicalprofessional's panel will require only a power supply and connection viainternet or intranet such that it can be located either in an officesite or in the doctor's home. The medical professional willsimultaneously and/or alternatively have access to a mobile or computerdevice such as a smartphone, desktop, laptop or tablet for manipulatingsensors and cameras, making notes, reading data and drafting writtencommunications, and also for viewing the patient.

In an alternate embodiment, the second portal or panel used by thedoctor or medical professional will instead be represented as one ormore internet-connectable mobile devices such as a smartphone, tablet,laptop, mountable smart screen or similar mechanism. Such mobile devicewill comprise all standard components, including but not limited to amemory, processor, screen, camera, microphone, speaker, etc., and willenable a medical professional to conduct remote physical examinationsfrom multiple locations using the same mobile device. In one embodiment,the second portal may comprise two mobile devices such as a phone andmounted screen or computer, acting in combination.

In this iteration, each mobile device will have a memory withappropriate software, ideally embodied as a downloadable application,capable of accessing and displaying photos, video and audio data fromthe patient as gathered by the first portal, as well as all datagenerated by the various sensors associated with the first portal. Themobile device will preferably allow the medical professional tocommunicate verbally and visually with the patient, activate, deactivateand manipulate the patient's examination portal hardware and access thedata gathered by such hardware in real time as needed for a givenphysical examination.

Optionally, the software of the medical professional's mobile devicewill also allow him or her to combine and compare data generated by twoor more sensors simultaneously to aid in making a diagnosis.

MVE portals for patients are self-cleaning and are equipped withmultiple sensors or dongles, each attached to a central processing unit,which can be used to monitor more than 20 biometric parameters (vitalsigns) and which the patient, either by himself or with assistance froman on-site worker, may use to take physical readings. In a preferredembodiment, such sensors will reside in a cabinet with numbered orotherwise marked drawers or cabinets such that the doctor may direct thepatient where to access each such sensor and how to use it.

Once the sensor(s) or similar device is in place, the doctor will havenearly instantaneous access to the related readings or information asthe sensor communicates its information to the CPU, which transmits theinformation to the doctor using proprietary data processing andcommunication software via the internet or an intranet connection. Thedoctor will have the option of setting the software such that allmeasured biometric parameters appear on the screen and are visible toboth doctor and patient, or are available to the doctor only. Such dataoptionally can be simultaneously uploaded and saved in memory. In oneiteration, the data is saved to the individual doctor's records only. Inanother iteration, the data is saved into the patient's file in a memoryavailable to the larger network.

Sensors or dongles to be used include but are not limited to anycombination of the following:

1. GSR Sensor—Galvanic Skin Response, used to measure the electricalconductance of the skin,

15. Blood Pressure BLE,

16. Scale,

17. Alarm Button,

18. Thermal imaging to determine body temperature and/or sites ofinfection,

19. Stethoscope, otoscope, opthalmoscope, or nasal speculum,

20. Weight scale and height measuring sensor,

21. Tonometer,

22. Slit lamp,

23. Ophthalmoscope,

24. Thermometer,

25. Reflex hammer, and

26. Tongue depressor.

Components of the communications equipment in a given portal unit willinclude real-time cameras, preferably High Definition (HD) or Ultra HighDefinition (UHD) quality cameras and monitors, capable of showingfull-body pictures but also comprising tilt and zoom controls to allowfor up-close examination of specific body areas. An array of cameras mayalso be provided allowing on medical professional to view the patientfront and back, side to side and top and bottom simultaneously asneeded, or to create a full 3D body image. In a preferred embodiment,sonar sensors and software will be employed to measure eachparticipant's distance to the screen for automatic adjustment of camerapositions, zoom, lighting, microphone sensitivity and/or speaker volumeto mimic real-life interaction as closely as possible. An additionalembodiment will employ a 99% transparent projection screen of plexiglassor similar material to allow participants to maintain realistic eyecontact. In one embodiment, the patient's examination portal will alsocomprise a video screen visible to the patient wherein the patient maysee the examining medical professional and also see the data overlaycomprising the patient's vital signs and other data measured by theportal hardware.

Internet or intranet-driven connectivity between portals may compriseone or more telecommunication-related algorithms or software such ashigh-efficiency video coding (HEVC), open-source software such as ArchLinux, a network control protocol such as Real Time Streaming Protocol(RTSP), Screen Overlay for displaying sensor and measurement readings orother data generated for concurrent review by one or more parties to acommunication, and, optionally, onsite radio communications such asBluetooth, BLE Bluetooth Low Energy, WiFi, or similar types oftransmission technology for connectivity of sensors and measuringdevices.

A variety of hard and software security measures will be taken toprovide complete confidentiality and privacy for the patient and his orher medical information. For on-site security, the portal or sitecontaining portals may employ the use of only wired internet or intranetconnections such that no radio transmissions containing patientinformation emanate. Should radio signal connections be employed, theuse of telecommunications additive or multiplicative randomizers(commonly known as “scramblers”) may be employed. Communicationssecurity features may include Virtual Private Network protocols such asWireGuard®, embedded computer systems controlled by real-time operatingsystems (RTOS) and other, similar systems. In any event, data securitysystems shall ensure HIPPA compliance of patient data storage andtransfer.

Features of the communications system will be state of the art,including high-efficiency video coding (HEVC), open-source software suchas Arch Linux, a network control protocol such as Real Time StreamingProtocol (RTSP), Screen Overlay for displaying sensor and measurementreadings or other data generated for concurrent review by one or moreparties to a communication, and, optionally, onsite radio communicationssuch as Bluetooth, BLE Bluetooth Low Energy, WiFi, or similar types oftransmission technology for connectivity of sensors and measuringdevices.

The disclosed system of simultaneous video, audio, sensory andmeasurement data will apply to many fields other than medical diagnosisand treatment. Within the field of medicine, the invention may also beapplied to the application of radiological and other testing, includingMRIs, CT scans, ultrasounds, x-rays, PET scans and other forms ofimaging.

During crises involving communicable pathogens, such as the recentcoronavirus pandemic, self-cleaning features of each portal will also beinvaluable. The use of remote cleaning such as misting nozzles attachedvia pump to reservoirs of antibacterial and antiviral cleaning productsallow the reservoir to be filled without a worker ever entering theportal. Similarly, the use of UVC lights to kill pathogens between usesand a consistently-running ozone generator allow for constantself-cleaning with minimal hands-on contact by staff. Such staff contactcan be kept to daily or less, allowing staff to more easily wear fullprotective gear whenever they do have to enter and handle surfacesinside the portal.

Outside the medical field, the invention may have uses including but notlimited to dating services, pharmaceutical dispensaries, instructionaltraining or tutoring, fitness training, lessons in music or other,similar disciplines, as well as job interviewing and corporate training.In short, the invention has the capacity to eliminate the need forpersons to physically inhabit the same space for many types ofinteractions.
